Deputies took a 21-year-old man, Gary Allen Potter II, into custody at a home.

While in the parking lot, a cab driver witnessed Potter arguing with a woman. The victim was walking toward Potter and the woman on a crutch when Potter pointed a handgun at the man "gangster style" and fired at him about eight to 10 times, according to the police report.

After the man ran away, Potter got into a black Volkswagen Jetta and drove away from the scene.

Deputies reported two cars in the parking lot were hit by Potter's bullets. One, a white Jeep Cherokee, had its back window smashed by the gunfire, deputies reported.

Potter was kicked out of the strip club because he was drunk and belligerent behavior, according to Kip Whaley, the owner of Emerald City, in the police report. Whaley said Potter was "pissing everybody off."

Potter is facing charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and the possession and discharge of a firearm causing great bodily injury, according to CCSO's report. His bond is set at $250,000.

The investigation and the crime scene were active until 5 p.m. on Friday. Some nearby businesses at Charlotte Trade Center Building B were shut down during the investigation.
